Description

Virtual reality and / or augmented reality device, system and corresponding methods

The present invention relates to so-called XR devices and systems, in particular virtual reality and / or augmented reality and / or mixed reality, associated with autonomous musical instruments, namely instruments that can operate individually such as a guitar. , a piano, a violin, a trumpet, ...

The invention aims to combine the use of this type of instrument with immersion in virtual reality and / or augmented reality and / or mixed reality.

In this field, it has been proposed a system comprising an organ on associated with elements making it possible to project equalizers on a panel or tubes of the organ. This type of solution is not fully satisfactory because the barley player is not in front of the panel or the tubes to see these projections.

In addition, video game systems with controls in the form of musical instruments have been proposed. This type of system does not bring satisfaction because it does not allow to have the specific beauty of a sound of an autonomous instrument in the virtual environment, but is generally limited to linear electronic sounds, without transcription of emotions by the artist, in particular by triggering the sound by electronic switch. So the sound does not allow the play and expression of the musician, like the vibratos, the nuances, the energy brought, the attacks, the connections and any play and sensitivities that an artist produces with his body and his instrument according to his will. . In addition, it generally does not allow the application of the know-how developed on artistic playing in a real situation with a musical instrument playing outside the system such as a guitar.

In addition, a platform system has been proposed for players with intelligent instruments (“smart instruments”) playing for spectators in an immersive environment. Likewise, this type of solution is not fully satisfactory because the player is not in the immersive environment.

In general, virtual / augmented / mixed reality systems in the field of the invention are focused on projections of 3D videos without any real interaction of the music player or the spectator with the 3D environment and / or between them in the 3D environment.

In addition, learning and playing musical instruments is often carried out in dull, flat, repetitive, routine and long-term demotivating environments.

Indeed, learning can lead to problems of lack of freedom, development of musical personality, construction of a musical identity, the disappearance of the pleasure of playing, demotivation, frustration, disgust, loss. isolation, loneliness, lack of opportunity and vocational guidance, psychological, physical, social and personal disorders.

These problems are linked to the constraints on artists and apprentice artists in relation to the discipline of learning, the hierarchy, the demand for difficult results, as well as all that is endurance, arduousness, monotony and training without a personal emotional relationship, no creation, interest and artistic composition, theoretical studies instead of a playful practice, the stress of reaching the objectives, or direct or collective criticism, the stress of exams, the stage fright before a performance, the weight of the investment parents, the hours of leisure erased for the benefit of daily training, the difficulty in carrying out a performance, access to stages, organization and budgeting.

Today, the observation is that musicians do not last over time and the majority (especially amateurs) abandon their instrument in less than 5 years due to this pedagogy and high difficulty. There is 63% evaporation of classes between the first and the second cycle, or on average after 4 or even 6 years of study. The main source of motivation (especially amateurs) is the pleasure of playing. Music schools form 97% of amateurs. But very quickly the idea of musical, creative and recreational pleasure was erased by the difficulty that work, rigor and concentration required to play the instrument. In addition, to this is added a poverty of music education today outdated (in particular the behavior of young artists aged 6 to 30), targeted on melodic, technical and theoretical analysis creating a disinterest in those ( and therefore the majority) who wanted to learn to play and share with pleasure musical and emotional sounds and melodies. The most important part of the training is towards an objective of deciphering and theoretical and technical prowess, to intensive training without personalization of the universe uninteresting the musician and his sensitivity. Even in small schools or distance learning courses, musical work must follow musical scores and structures. There is no room for creativity and the pleasure of expression. Everything is concentrated in guidelines leaving an art that must be productive in technical work. These strong psychological demands very quickly affect musicians and the youngest in particular who are basically seeking to flourish, have fun, get away from it all, and share their emotions. In addition, some of the children are put in schools and conservatories by choice of parents, and not by desire, the theoretical feeling, the perseverance and the lack of personal style and musicality of the formation becomes even more difficult for these people to bear. young artists. 60% of musicians permanently give up music between the ages of 15 and 24, and 77% regret having quit.

Finally, the conservatories select students, conduct assessments, refuse students who have passed the age, a required level, a geographical area ... Discrimination is made and added to a financially high access fee according to social class .

The same is true for the sharing of new compositions on social networks for modest artists, which are made at the artist's home or in complicated (management and creation) and demotivating (little in terms of means and project perspective) environments.

An important point is present about the representation of the artist. Today whether for small groups of friends, duets, lonely students, semi-professional and professional artists, all are almost subjects and forced to forget to perform performances by a lack of simplicity of management. and space (solutions offered for performances). Otherwise, it is easy to broadcast a video or sound on the internet, but to be able to make a live performance, with valuable and interested visitors, minimal visibility without referencing or funding, with a camera, lights, sets, a good connection speed, technical assistance, acoustics, light… is very complicated and expensive. It is also very difficult to play in the street, without significant sound equipment, there is complexity and time limits for a road use right. In addition, you must respect the level of noise pollution for the neighborhood ... finally it is even more difficult to find a producer who offers you a contract for an album or show project, to find the funding, the technical team and commercial, a venue, a group… The record market has today reached an extremely low level, no major in the music industry, producer, record company has reacted in such a way as to effectively circumvent illegal downloading. The lack of creativity and the short-term vision being targeted on stars and low quality content, we are crashing the music market and closing the doors to quality musicians. The representation and public appreciation of the artist's music (preferably a musician) is paramount. Thus the invention replaces this situation with moral support and assistance with a management platform for artists in order to offer simplified, rapid and economical access to representation; and with freedom of expression for all styles without selection of level, universe, and economic strategy.

In addition, no support combining an image (video) preferably in virtual 3D immersion is currently in existence, serving as moral support, educational aid and scenic assistance with the musician's game, a live broadcast, with simplicity, with visibility, all of which can be recorded with return and sound mixing.

A first objective of the invention is to provide a device and a system allowing a user to have an immersion in virtual reality and / or augmented reality and / or mixed reality, with quality sound while playing games. an autonomous instrument (and / or singing).

A second objective is to provide a device and a system for playing an instrument in a motivating and pleasant environment.

A third objective is to be able to play, listen to oneself, record and modify one's sound.

A fourth objective is to be able to train, preferably after having found your style and motivation.

A fifth objective is to be able to spread, gain access to the scene and become professional.

A sixth objective is to offer a means of exchange and sharing of composition in an aesthetic environment.

A seventh objective is to provide a musical game system in an immersive 3D environment allowing interactions between users or with the 3D environment including artificial intelligence.

To achieve these objectives, the invention provides a virtual reality and / or augmented reality and / or mixed reality device for a user, broadcasting at least a three-dimensional atmosphere of music.

According to a first aspect, the device is configured to be associated with an autonomous musical instrument which can operate individually, so that the music played by said user on the musical instrument and / or sung by the user is heard by said user. through the device.

The device may be associated with a means for picking up sounds, chants and voices, such as a microphone, through the device.

Advantageously, the device allows the learning of musical play on an autonomous instrument. In addition, the user regains the usual sounds, as he hears the specific sound of the instrument or optionally, the sound reworked by the effects offered by an audio processor module.

In addition, the device is beneficial for the health, motivation, pleasure, and development of the musician, through the use of the three-dimensional atmosphere.

In particular, the device is configured to perform electronic immersion provided with a user interface allowing playful and musical human interaction by generating visual and auditory feedback on a video device.

Advantageously, this allows the player to have interactions with the 3D environment without being limited to a 3D video projected without user intervention. By "human interaction" is meant an interaction between the user and the virtual environment that goes beyond the simple projection of a 3D video; or between multiple users in the virtual environment.

Preferably, the interactions include actions achievable by commands associated with the user's movements. Thus, the user can move around in the 3D environment.

For example, actions include character movements, limb gestures, action with events or objects on the set or with users.

According to another aspect,
- the musical instrument is a traditional classical instrument associated with the device by a microphone, or
the musical instrument is an electric instrument associated with the device by a connection to the device or by a microphone associated with a speaker of the instrument. This makes it possible to adapt the invention to non-connected classical musical instruments, having a particular sound sought after by artists.

The invention relates to a device 1 for virtual reality and / or augmented reality and / or mixed reality. It may be the variant of a device 1 allowing a user to be immersed in a virtual reality or augmented reality environment or both (mixed reality).

In summary, reality whatever its nature or definition (like the XR summing up all realities), and even as it evolves, falls within the scope of the invention associating a digital three-dimensional world with the artist user.

The X of XR is interchangeable with (R) V, (R) A or (R) M, although it also represents an undefined variable quality / quantity. XR covers the hardware, software, methods and experience that make up virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, cinematic reality and more.

XR encompasses platforms and content that allow users to see digital objects in reality or, conversely, to see physical objects in a digital scene, or a fully digital environment, and all, with or without a hologram.

The device 1 can comprise an element to be worn on the head 2 and in particular in front of the eyes, such as a virtual reality headset with its own interface and its own central unit, or a virtual reality headset with its own interface and a external central unit (computer, external station, etc.), or a headset configured to receive a smart phone (“smatphone”), or connected glasses (smart glasses ”).

Semi-transparent glasses are less preferred because they are less immersive and the user's room distorts the projected architecture and impacts non-immersion. In general, the immersion is only partial because the 360 ° spherical visual envelope is non-existent. In addition, the sound is also affected by sound interference from the room such as reverberation or by people in the vicinity who are not immersed, and presents risks of echoes, reverberation, suffocation ...

Alternatively or in combination, the device 1 can include a projection means 3 or display of an environment in augmented reality and / or in mixed reality.

Thus, the device 1 is configured to be used by at least one user, and to broadcast at least one three-dimensional atmosphere of music 4 (4a, 4b) to said user. The environment is preferably completely immersive. The instrument can be visible in the 3D environment for example via an instrument avatar.

In particular, the device is natural autonomous and becomes connected so as to immerse the user in the three-dimensional environment.

We can consider a helmet preferably involving multi-sensoriality (5 directions + movements):

View / 360 ° view / Virtual reality view, augmented reality and mixed reality… /

Hearing: 360 ° sound / sound / mono / stereo speaker / 3.1, 5.1, 5.4.1, 22.2, 7.1, 9.1 ... 360 ° and spherical spatialization / ambisonics / surround sound / sound hierarchy / volume / relief by l user attention / depth ...

Scent diffuser (by olfactory cartridge or other synthetic or natural scent diffusion system).

Sensitization of bodily touch (impact, vibration (loudspeaker power, the audience ...), ventilation, projection: water and water vapor (cold or hot) ...

Taste: These are electronic or thermal or thermoelectric technologies that reproduce the sensations of sweet, salty and other foods on the tongue with electrodes, the change in temperature imitates the sensation of taste on the tongue. The user puts a lozenge or lollipop (thermoelectric element) on their tongue which quickly heated or cooled reproduces seasonings and spices by deceiving heat-sensitive neurons that contribute to the sensory code of taste. The seasoning or taste can also come from electronically controlled microcapsules, releasing concentrates, flavors, and flavor enhancers placed (by adhesive or crown) in the oral cavity or on the teeth. ;

Movement (by motion controller, sensors, etc.) ...

The helmet can also be compatible with inventions such as jackets or haptic suits, or other technology to create the sensations of the 5 senses located elsewhere than on a helmet and allowing a greater immersion of the user in the universes.

The headsets or glasses can be connected to each other for sharing between users, both in platform 8 and locally with several users. The different data can circulate (audio, videos…).

By "three-dimensional music mood" is meant a mood specially selected to correspond with (at a minimum) a set of music by the user. It can be a dark setting with Gothic 4a type graphic elements for example to play rock metal; it can be a concert atmosphere 4b, or a quieter atmosphere, or a performance space (stage, etc.) or a three-dimensional social area (place or network) 4b, all of which can be configured with sound tracks or not. The three-dimensional atmosphere is infographic, sound, and scalable (changes are described later in the patent for the music service associated with platform 8). Finally, the platform and the three-dimensional musical atmosphere make it possible to perform a musical service, which assists him with any product and service by musical assistance such as conservatory and artist management.

The atmosphere 4 can also be or include elements of learning 4c music, in particular in augmented or mixed reality.

The user can be in a subjective point of view, or with the appearance of an avatar or the real representation of oneself (by building a profile, or by scanning his profile).

It is also possible to provide a sensor and 3D capture modules, to reproduce the user's movements.

It is also possible to provide playability with the avatar or its personal representation, by command, by pre-recorded animations to be applied or by capturing gestures in real life using sensors or cameras (Reality Tracking). One of the goals, after the physical animation for the attraction and social contact of his avatar and his art, is to allow precise control of the space and possible executable actions.

The possible places and situations of use are: Terminal and arcade and arcade room VR / VR theater / immersive theater / VR stage (room (s) for artist (s) with XR system) / VR center / Public place / private place / network / offline / multi-user / solo / local / on screen and shared universe / in the Cloud.

According to a first aspect, the device 1 is configured to be associated with a stand-alone musical instrument 5 which can operate individually, so that the music played by said user on the musical instrument 5 is heard by said user through the device 1. .

By "autonomous musical instrument that can operate individually" is meant a full-fledged musical instrument that can be played independently of the device 1 and of the system according to the invention.

For example, the instrument 5 can be connected to the headphones, preferably by means of a compact audio processor module 6. Thus, the user hears the specific sound of his instrument through the headphones while being immersed in a specific atmosphere. 4.

The compact audio processor module 6 makes it possible to have quality sound in the device 1 while limiting the bulk, the user can then easily play his instrument 5. The compact audio processor module 6 is preferably integrated. and / or attached to the helmet (for tactile adjustment).

More generally, the compact audio processor module 6 is a more complex system such as an audio interface integrating sound processing components. The interface carries the audio signal and will also give it the "color" desired by the artist.

In particular, the audio processor 6 (both virtual and physical) constitutes a vocal processor which can incorporate, among other things, a portable home studio, a preamp which, in short, produces the “color” of the sound, and has an amplifier which gives it output power. The audio processor 6 is preferably internal to the headset and / or virtual to provide an all-in-one element combining both image and sound, plus other senses as a variant.

Audio processor 6 may involve:

monitoring, i.e. having feedback and being able to listen to what we are playing live;

an amplifier, i.e. being able to develop what you are playing (without necessarily being able to hear) thanks to an increase in signal power.

a recorder, i.e. being able to record various tracks on various media.

a transmitter, i.e. being able to transmit one or more signals on various media by various types of transmissions.

a transformer pre-amp, i.e. being able to work on audio as desired: Sound design (sound design) by creating auditory elements and desired effects on one or more multitracks and sounds.

The sound adjustments by the audio processor 6 have the advantage of dealing with the problem of: "rejection of the instrument and of the music" with the device electronically or virtually through the three-dimensional representation headset (XR / VR) or mixed glasses with the musical service transmitting the elements necessary for the recovery and the continuity of the artist with the music and / or the song, while integrating his musical game mixed by his settings.

Advantageously, the device 1 allows the learning of artistic play on an instrument 5 that can be played independently of the invention. In addition, the user finds the usual sounds, because he hears the specific sound from instrument 5 and not a sound entirely synthesized electronically by device 1.

Instrument 5 can be for example a guitar, piano, trumpet, violin, etc. More generally, instrument 5 can be a classical (traditional) or electric instrument, string, wind, percussion or a combination of these instruments. It can also be virtual like the keyboards and software of M.A.O with display on screen.

Advantageously, the invention makes it possible to combine the use of this type of instrument with immersion in virtual reality and / or in augmented reality and / or in mixed reality.

The use of the invention can be done with several simultaneous instruments, or several instruments one after the other or even mono instrumental.

The device, such as a virtual reality headset, makes it possible to play a musical instrument at the same time as an accompaniment (from the music service detailed below) all transmitted in the headset.

Several connection options (wired or wireless) to a music service and a platform detailed below are an integral part of the device 1.

Advantageously, the environment is motivating and learning is maintained for longer.

Preferably, the recording and broadcasting system is internal to the headset, in particular via the audio processor 6. It allows the recording, broadcasting and transformation of the sound live in the ears by return.

Regarding the settings, an adjustment means by touch screen can be achieved, or by a screen diffusing in front of the eyes through the computer program representing the possible settings reacting through the commands associated with the helmet or the glasses.

Furthermore, the microphones 2a are adapted to musical instruments and configured to be affixed thereto.

In addition, the size and weight aim to limit bulk and fatigue. The elements of the device are chosen to limit the listening and return latency of the sound as much as possible.

In addition, the device 1 is advantageous for health, motivation, pleasure, and development, through support for performances, leisure, and mental support for artistic exercise, all integrated in a helmet (or glasses ) augmented with virtual, augmented or mixed reality.

The invention therefore offers a coaching solution, assistance and associated musical psychological help allowing a search for personality and universe, immersion, leisure, motivation, work, training, confidence. in itself, belonging and self-definition, adapted to the musician in the form of video (2D, 3D, 360 °, VR, mixed ...), software, program, service and social network associated with sound of the instrument, recording and playing (s) of the musician in digital format and in virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality.

The re-motivation and the pleasure resulting from the invention emanates from the search for the style and the universe of the artist, the training with pleasure, the ease, the modularity and the interest in music, the elimination of the stress and stage fright accumulated by musical education and the current training atmosphere, personalization, and finally sharing, management and representation accessible and visible to all. Thus the artist freed by the invention is motivated in these universes with the musical multimedia service and can reveal himself, bring his style, the universe and the inspiration corresponding to him, express himself in order to find his personality, his references and the taste for music and the pleasure of playing. The service offers the user the progression in practice and the freedom of his creative sensibility. The growth of these beneficial effects plays on the artist's mind and develops an assurance, a need for belonging (with groups and artists), and fulfills the need for esteem by the success of the levels, paths, and objectives set. by user and support. Also, self-fulfillment through personal development of new goals that have become accessible, achieved through the support and assistance of the music department of the invention.

On the other hand, the invention with the associated multimedia service offers a relief valve for stress, stage fright, monotony, and arduousness and provides a solution against demotivation, against discouragement, against the lack of freedom. , against the lack of musical sensitivity, against isolation, against the difficulty of finding a group, an orchestra or a solution of representation of his art, against the depreciation of oneself. This also ensures a solution for, fulfillment, leisure, well-being, motivation, work, training, composition, creation, emotion, belonging (to groups and events ), self-definition (by objectives and a level of performance), by a conservatory service, but also professionalization, demonstrations, concerts, sponsorship, purchases, sales, an advertising service for musicians , performances and concert halls, artistic, and meeting, and a management service for artists.

The integrated or affixed audio processor 6 can be operated without the use of the hands. It allows you to mix the sound picked up by the microphone (preferably on the instrument) and the software, the application, or the music service, which can come out of the phone (smartphone), the connected watch, the computer, VR headset, augmented reality or mixed reality headset, or mixed reality glasses. Connected watches (1a) serve as a mini-computer and allow data (especially music) to be transmitted by connection to element 2.

The microphone, linked to the device 1, mixes by the audio processor 6, the signals of the microphone and of the audio source of the telephone or of the musical multimedia service 8 integrated directly into the headset electronically (for example by processor + motherboard) or wired internet connection or wireless. Then once processed and the sound shaped, it is retransmitted to the speakers included directly in the three-dimensional representation system, preferably on the headphones 2.

In addition, one of the advantages of the invention is to be able to record the sound only from the microphone and / or from the multimedia music service 8 and / or from the video on a smartphone inserted in the headset or in the device 1 or towards the multimedia service. musical 8 associated.

In addition, the device allows the isolated use of monitoring by the return of live sound (without recording, without broadcasting, without three-dimensional universe, without platform 8 and without connection): Connection of device 1 to the telephone and to the service 8 or directly from device 1 to service 8 is optional. The sound of the microphone can come directly from the speakers and therefore be listened to live.

Then, live isolated recording (without output to the speakers) is possible. Connection to the headphones speakers is optional, the sound 5 can land directly on the telephone or the device 1, and therefore be recorded on the connected device, and / or via the Internet, and / or preferably on the music service 8.

The device can include an audio headset of the type of online gaming headsets (with microphone), or a standard audio headset or headphones already known to date, but the comfort, immersion and advantages (in particular electroacoustic) are reduced. for part of an all-in-one device.

It is also possible to envisage sound diffusion by integrated loudspeaker or associated with headphones of the type: intra-auricular, supra-aural and circum-aural broadcasting at the same time the sound and the video (2D, 3D, 360 °, reality virtual and / or mixed…) and / or music service, as well as sound feedback and all the services and parameters offered by the speech processor.

The sound diffusion can also be emitted by a mini speaker (connected or not), a hi-fi system, an amplifier, or any powered system allowing sound diffusion. The broadcast can also be shared with several headsets (artists and spectators) and can also be associated with the audio / video system of theaters.

This association of three-dimensional universes with music brings a new experience to all types of users.

The connection of the device 1 can be selective with the sound diffusion elements, and be directly linked to the audio processor 6 without going through the music service 8, and thus hear the sound of its voice or of its modified instrument. The connection can also be directly linked with the music service 8 without going through a transformation of the speech processor 6.

According to a variant, the device is associated with the instrument by means of a microphone 2a which can be fixed near the sound generating elements of the musical instrument 5. For example, a microphone is fixed to an attachment means. to the instrument such as a clamp, a collar, a strap, an elastic band, or a capo, preferably with a protection means such as a rubber pad so as not to damage the instrument 5. The microphone can be rotatable to adjust its position.

Advantageously, this variant allows the device to be used with non-electronic and non-electrical instruments.

One or more microphones can be provided. At least one microphone is adaptable to any instrument and allows you to be able to listen to yourself live, at the same time as you are playing and to be able to level the return of the sound, preferably with the multimedia service offered.

The microphone can also be positioned in front of an amplifier or speakers connected to the instrument.

It is possible to envisage at least one microphone used individually, for example for singing.

The microphone is used to pick up the sound of an instrument, multiple instruments, amplifiers and speakers, or the voice.

In particular, the microphone is connected by a 6.35 mm jack plug to best withstand the movements and movements of the musician without rotating and sizzling during use. Preferably, a ball joint allows the microphone to pivot almost 360 ° to direct the sound pickup in the fairest axis of the output of the sound wave from the instrument 5. Any other connection, even wireless, is necessary. applicable.

As a variant, the microphone is preferably a piezoelectric microphone, or transducers (dynamic or electrostatic or static). They are used to emit or detect acoustic waves in all chosen frequency ranges. It is also possible to provide a dynamic, condenser, static, electrostatic, condenser, silicon, carbon, electret or ribbon microphone. Any microphone can be used for the transmission of sound or voice.

The microphone can also be a set of microphone especially for stereo or ambisonic sound with arrangements like tetrahedron or more and even spherical. It can also have different directivity depending on the instruments and atmospheres to be captured.

Then, the microphone or microphones can be arranged other than on the instrument, they can be on a stand or fixable on any other object such as for example a desk or a pole.

The installation can be either by clips (for example spring on the underside of the instrument table) or by clamp, or glued by adhesive or suctioned by silicone or elastomer pellet preferably having a very sticky viscoelasticity ratio.

As a variant, a micro-perforated elastomer pellet adhering by suction can be chosen.

An adjustable mechanized arm (all axes and / or length) provides precision adjustment of the microphone 2a as close as possible to the instrument 5 and / or the user's mouth.

According to one variant, the device is associated with the instrument via a wired connection structure 2b such as a jack.

As a variant, all audio and data transmission connections and processor such as XLR, USB, Lightning, coaxial, jack, DIN, by the meter, AES / EBU, RCA, digital, computer network and telephony, and even wireless such as transmitters / receivers, can be used. A connected watch can be considered.

The invention proposes several variants for the arrangement of the audio processor 6. A variant proposes an installation of the audio processor 6 on and / or in the sound pick-up system 2a.

Another variant proposes another installation of the audio processor 6 independently of the headphones or glasses 2 or of the microphone 2a. This variant therefore allows the element 6 to be mobile, positionable where one wants and preferably on the instrument 5. In addition, this arrangement makes it possible to add other real musical elements before or after the vocal processor such as as effect pedals and any other element as among those mentioned above.

All the arrangements, however varied they may be, can be wired or wireless for connection and power.

Another variant concerns the device 1 with the association of the sound capture means 2a assembled with VR headsets or mixed reality glasses.

The connection of the two elements 2 and 2a is preferably formed by a ball joint allowing the microphone 2a to be pivoted either on the plane of the X, Y or Z axis, or on at least one of the 3 axes, or on all of the axes. axes allowing a 360 ° adjustment.

The ball joints can be located on different parts of element 2a. Also, an adjustable mechanized arm (all axes and / or length) offers precision adjustment of the microphone 2a as close as possible to the instrument 5 and / or the user's mouth.

In addition, the layout and number of microphone 2a on element 2 can be multiple, allowing the number of stereo or ambisonic sound track (s) and effect (s) to be multiplied.

In this configuration, other real musical elements can be added such as effect pedals and any other element such as those mentioned above.

Also, the invention makes it possible to connect the VR headsets 2 or the augmented or mixed reality glasses to a virtual audio interface 6. This interface 6 is also compatible and / or integrated with platform 8. This digital version, similar to the real electronic version, allows a deeper, more flexible, fun and fluid immersion with the atmosphere. In addition, all these arrangements and assemblies allow DATAS (data of all kinds including musical) a transmission with or without wire to element 2, and / or can be integrated into element 2, allowing visualization of the settings and / or the musical service in front of the eyes, all associated with the voice and / or the sound of the instrument 5.

In another variant, the provision of an offline music service 8 internally of the audio processor 6 (non-virtual) allows DATAS (data of any genre including music) to be played individually without connection. In addition, this arrangement allows (connected) transmission of data from platform 8 to element 6 for examples: certain transfer, transmission, recording and downloading. The system allows a visualization of the settings and / or the music service in front of the eyes, all applicable in the device 1.

In a still similar variant, the offline music service and / or the audio processor 6 can be assisted by the online music service 8 and / or the element 2 by means of a watch or a connected bracelet or all. other connected object. It serves, for example, as a visual and computer interface to operate either the program or data transfers for the use of device 1 with the instrument and the system connected. The advantage of this additional device is to have an intermediate element for customizing the sound, and the use of the audio processor 6 and the music service 8. With the screen, and options of quick accessibility and proximity , the device adds the advantage of tracking and processing its data exchanges.

In addition, the settings can be adjusted as "parent" (ascending) to the mechanical settings from the virtual display.

Any internal program or software of Items 6 and / or 2 and / or 2a will feature at least augmentations, updates, DLC (downloadable content), and transferable add-ons for further customization.

In addition, all configurations and variants allow compatibility of the installation of the audio processor 6 on or in the microphone (s) 2a, on or in the element 2, or as a removable part, while retaining the device. 1 applicable.

All electric instruments, such as guitars, violins, violas, cellos, double basses, pianos (keyboards: like synthesizers), drums, etc. can benefit from the invention by connecting directly to the device of the invention, for example to headphones . This variant makes it possible not to use a microphone (in particular of the invention) and to directly recover the sound reproduced by instrument 5 already electrified by the manufacturer, the luthier or the postman. In addition, as a variant, the sound of the instruments output by speakers or amplifiers can be picked up by the microphone proposed by the invention directly at the output of the speakers as an alternative to a plug-in type connection.

One of the interests of the invention is to be able to offer to the musician having only one or more traditional instrument (s) (such as the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass, and the acoustic guitar for example) to possess an electric instrument (and at least with all the peculiarities offered by this type of increase, especially on the sound) without changing it.

The instrument by the same invention also becomes virtual through the music service of platform 8.

With the ease and speed of installation, the instrument can become electric inexpensively, without DIY work, deterioration, or the intervention of cabinetmaker, craftsman, and without new purchase of a previously equipped instrument. The invention makes it possible to transform the instrument and therefore to become traditional again in an instant with just one manipulation (for example: removing the microphone or the connection).

The invention has as a variant of being able to integrate the speech processor directly into the instrument itself during its construction. Thus only interfaces such as connections or settings are visible. This process responds, among other things, to visual simplicity in design, handling and also in sound research.

An intermediate solution as another variant can also be carried out with an impression, a knockout (cavity) or a vacuum present upstream in the instruments then allowing the device to be inserted inside the instrument. This process can be associated with a cover or cover (independent or associated with the product or the instrument) to be placed to hide the element.

These variants therefore offer the creation of new electric / electronic instruments and for all families, associated with VR and three-dimensional universes.

The invention has been developed so as not to exert any latency in the passage of sound from the microphone to the headphones.

The invention has shields to counter electromagnetic fields and EMI / RFI (electromagnetic interference - radio interference) waves disturbing the sound signal and therefore the quality of listening / transmission / reception.

The invention also adapts to technologies around data, such as transmission management and processing, savings in power, bandwidth, etc., virtual or physical storage, connection means and protection.

The invention, whether in the system or the device, is protected and compatible with protection systems against various types of digital attacks from cyber-malware. These devices are known to date.

Whether it is the device or the system, the invention provides solutions around the comfort of the vestibular system and other parts of the body sensitive to ailments from XR. The solutions are to balance the conflicts between the visual and vestibular systems (Virtual reality sickness) being the source of the unpleasant sensations of movement, dizziness, nausea, malaise and headache sometimes felt. They can be, among other things, on the editing of the 3D image by working on rendering engines (video), on sound arrangements, on the product (lens, inter-pupillary distance, resolution, etc.) and on digital (latency, etc.) .

According to one variant, the device comprises several selectable three-dimensional musical atmospheres 4a, 4b. This embodiment makes it possible to vary the number of moods, and to change them as needed.

The device 1 can be used with a control means 7 for the user such as a joystick, a mouse, a controller, electronic sensors, optical, omnidirectional platform, connected watch, touchpad, or other navigation means, or a combination. of at least two of these elements.

The invention allows the sound transmitted by the microphone to be shaped according to the user's desire. Preferably, the current settings are the volume of the sound (in decibels), the grain (the texture, the thickness) and the "tone" (the Sound: in the sense of timbre).

The adjustment can also be virtual. It can be visible on the screen of the VR, AR or mixed headset or glasses, or even directly in the virtual environment. The setting can be adjusted mechanically or virtually by means of the controls associated with the invention (such as a bracelet / controller or sensors) or by gestures, sounds or units of measurement of inertia (electronic device capable of detecting movement via different solutions and technologies, such as odometry). The setting and the virtual appearance is accessible in particular by the platform system 8.

Other effects can be added, synthesized and simulated, such as microphones, preamplifiers, amplifiers, speakers, devices and electronics that simulate and affect the sound and quality (modulation, delay, dynamics, noise-gate, equalization, etc.), classic effects pedals (vibrato, pizzicato, legato, staccato ...), studio effects or vintage and modern pedals (boost, looper, reverb, volume, tremolo, modulation, delay, gate, pitch, octaver, equalizer, distortion , overdrive, fuzz, compressor, wah, tuner, filter ...) as well as preamps ...

Finally, presets are pre-recorded and recordable for ease of use and quick use without user programming.

In addition, this configuration and all the others described in this invention, make it possible to add real musical elements in the path between the sound source 5 and up to the platform 8, such as effect pedals or for example at least one. of those cited in the preceding non-exhaustive list.

One of the advantages of on-board electronics is that it can feel and receive a quality of sound that is more professional and rich in body and musical waves, rather than synthesized and non-physically tuned sound.

Then, the installation of lamp (s) with or as a replacement for a transistor offers many sound advantages and auditory colors. This synthesizable peculiarity also allows device 1 to provide users of all instruments thus made electric by the invention, a sound of quality, precision and a wealth of harmonics and unique warmth and color. For some lamps and power to be supported, an external power supply will be necessary.

Also, the audio processor can be is isolated for an increased lifespan, against electrostatic dust. The lamps are protected by capsules.

For better sound signal and resistance to electrical disturbances, the printed circuit board and components are isolated from the rest of the functions included in the device. The impedance is specifically calculated with an output selector or multiple connectors, for optimization of the addition of lamp (s). The arrangement in the sound passage is also offered either as a pre-amp or amplifier.

The combination of preamplifier, amplifier, hybrid amplifier device and portable audio processor for VR headset and combination glasses is advantageous to the invention and provides tube sound in a three-dimensional musical ambience.

An advantage of the product is that it allows the microphone sound level to be chosen independently of the sound level of the content coming out of the phone or the multimedia service. Thus the user benefits from an adjustment according to the support and the training he intends to exercise.

An external display screen can be present on the product to indicate certain setting information, the chosen preset, or even the "bright" design that you want to give to your device.

The invention may include a built-in battery and recharging (eg USB) on device 1. LEDs (or indicators) may be provided to indicate the remaining amount of battery.

Charging can be done while in use on the side of the device.

An ignition button is preferably provided.

In a variant, the headphones consist of a mobile and compact audio processor 6 composed of a preamp and an amplifier with monitoring, effects, transmitter (sound and data), recorder and recording integrated in the headphones. The location is for a helmet with mechanical adjustment. The audio processor can also be incorporated into the molding of the headset or VR glasses to become one, in particular to gain portability, integration and aesthetics.

In a variant, this system (adjustment and customization) can be virtual and connectable through the music service allowing the exchange of the sound of the instrument with the return of the sound, and its recording.

The side position is preferably towards the rear, for example on the temple. It allows the device to be connected at the rear for recharging the battery. This location allows when in use, comfort without cables in front of you. The cable will therefore pass through the rear of the user. The charging port can be one or more among a mini USB, USB, micro USB, USB-C or Lightning, magnetic, induction….

As with a horizontal position, the sound settings for the vertical position are aligned and fall under your fingertips.

Whether in either position, the connections and settings do not cross each other and offer high maneuverability and no discomfort with instruments such as transverse flutes, strings or trombones.

The system does not interfere with the user in any way.

Also, connections to the telephone, microphone and headset are facilitated. The integration is discreet and light. The connectors integrated into the connections are preferably of the spiral type, in order to facilitate implementation with flexibility in tension and distance during connections.

The invention further relates to a system comprising a device 1 as described above, and a platform 8 for recording / broadcasting videos (2D, 3D, 360 °, VR, mixed, etc.) originating from the device 1 and from the music. played with instrument 5. As an extension, the platform will offer assistance and a performance and stage production service. We can talk about music management or multimedia service.

The platform 8 can be associated with a music service.

Platform 8 may include S.C. conservatory modules and services, and S.M.A .. artist management services.

Together, the resulting various resouces, such as the three-dimensional A.T.M. (4, 4a, 4b) of music, and R representations, allow to solve the problem. The device 1 and the music service system transmits, modifies (for example via the audio processor 6, and adapts to the choices and games of the artist (s), linking to the social space RS serving as a reception area and guidance music services 8, or in private mode.

The platform 8 is a network platform, preferably accessible via the Internet. Thus, the device 1 is preferably connected to the Internet either directly or through a specific connection element 1a.

The technical detail of the platform in terms of software and hardware may be that of the prior art, and will not be discussed further.

Platform 8 may include artist type A users playing Instrument 5, and spectator type S users not playing Instrument 5.

The spectator users 5 also have a virtual reality device 1 which can be the same as that of the artist A with the functions of musical games and recording can be deactivated, or be a device 1 specifically intended for the spectator users S, without said functions.

According to a variant, the platform 8 comprises means for exchanging data for exchanging and / or comparing the videos, audio and virtual actions (scenes and representations).

These may be computer modules, for example for a computer, VR headset or smartphone associated with a server. This can be implemented, for example, in the form of an exchange and sharing platform between several users.

These means allow recording, broadcasting, reading / writing, downloading, subscriptions, streaming or listening live ("live") or deferred ... either any type of broadcasting and transmission (virtual or physical) combining the playing of a musician or a singer or both at the same time as artist A or as spectator S.

Music or videos can also be sold.

It further provides a means of selling advertising space in performances or in videos.

Specific headphone equipment can be provided, for example an amplifier with monitoring, effects, transmitter (sound and data), recorder and with internal / external / connectable / addable / associable recording. The transformation of the sound can be virtual or under mixed reality and associated with the platform or the helmet or glasses.

According to one variant, the system comprises a social network module for sharing and interacting between users. These are, for example, computer modules and servers to implement a social network that can be immersive.

According to one variant, the social network module makes it possible in particular to like, compare and comment on videos. The social network module thus makes it possible to “like”, count the “likes” and the shares of videos to assess the popularity of users and / or the quality of the music.

A confrontation module ("battle") between several artist users can also be provided.

The invention further relates to a computer program for the implementation of one or more elements of the system as described above.

Furthermore, the system according to the invention improves the musical, personal, creative and instrument learning environment. We can talk about a musical conservatory.

This conservatory, preferably with the help of headphones and the transmission of the sound of the instrument, offers learning, training, the discovery of the universe, the search for style, motivation, technical assistance, mental assistance, stress management, stage fright, coaching, self-definition, simulation, esteem, social spaces, leisure areas, warm-up work, the discovery of artist…

The conservatory is a multidisciplinary, multi-format, multimedia, multiplatform musical immersion, implemented in a system of programs, data and algorithms providing actions and education in a three-dimensional format with the instrument.

For example, one can further consider a projection of the methodology, the positioning or the action of the fingers to further facilitate learning. This can be illustrated by the . We can also have a projection of notes, nuances, articulations, chords, sensations and emotions… to emit at a certain moment of the exercise or the piece.

Thus, the invention further relates to a method of learning a musical instrument 5 or a song by means of the device 1 as described above or the system as described above.

Another objective of one of the aspects of the invention concerns health, in particular assistance and support for people prone to phobias and other psychological disorders (around music and art).

This can be done by a therapeutic exposure of the stage, of the pressure, of the work, of the performance by: a control of the level of difficulty of the exercise / the quantity of the audience / the size of the stage / the attitude of the audience or jury / setting the tempo of the immersions / the number of remaining repetitions / adaptive multi-instrumental assistance according to the level and the direct ease of the user's musical performance ...

These assistances will be configurable, intelligent and adaptable by setting the user, teacher, coach, implemented program, algorithms, or machine learning, preferably depending on the level and ease of the user performing their art.

Immersion is preferably a universe where the user can reconstruct himself, regain pleasure, relax, raise his sensitivity and his creation, define himself, take responsibility, evaluate himself, gain self-confidence, open up and mainly to re-motivate themselves by traveling in the world created by the invention, selecting courses, videos, performances, appointments, rating and following other users, making purchases and sales, renting space promotions… and register to play on virtual stages thanks to the retransmission of headphones, microphones, transmission system, music service and the choice of character representative of their art and personality. Immersion is more than a social network. It is a universe of sharing, belonging, learning, professionalization, promotion, and a stage, all live and recorded.

The invention further relates to a structure of care, service and assistance: to the musician, to health and well-being by a unique design allowing the user to regain a taste for the pleasure of playing / working gradually without constraint, without deadlines, without submission of obligation of quality or objective, to escape, without emotional constraint or blocking of expressive sensitivity, without difficulty in playing, transmitting, managing and sharing his art.

The aim is to increase the artist's performance through exponential qualitative repetitions with flexibility, ease, entertainment and interest, thanks to the pleasure always present, to the assisted management and to the motivational support provided in the virtual artistic service of the conservatory. and music management.

Thus, the artist's development is developed through the personal search for his hidden or disappeared talent corresponding to the user's style thanks to the assistance, demonstrations and tools of the service, to ultimately acquire a greater self-esteem by the work accomplished, and objectives achieved, but also belonging to groups of artists and fans, all interested in his art, his style, attracted by the level and talent presented by the user; and all wanting to join him to share these emotions, their arts and make new creations, then self-fulfillment through the work carried out and concluding guiding him towards the entrepreneurship of a professional path, or new adventures and artistic goals.

The services offered by the invention can also be transposed or added together with professionals, teachers, coaches, conductors, students or musicians integrated into a platform or a social network, for example: to guide, transmit information , training, video, sound and composition, also correct users of the invention. This additional service can look like a connection or rental or payment platform for a service. This service is also available in the form of an orchestra and grouping of any size, auditions, exhibitions, fairs, master classes, courses, rehearsals and production combining at least one of the methods or services offered (device or system) of the invention both real and virtual.

With a view to bringing people together, XR rooms (musical / artistic real and physical) or XR scenes (real) are the subject of one of the characteristics and variations of the invention, making it possible in particular to train, re-motivate, entertain, group together and emancipate the artist user preferably. The rooms contain both a system and one or more device (s) as described in the present patent offering access in particular to common and social gatherings, stages, initiations, sharing and entertainment, whether battles, games, formations, orchestrations, trips in musical universes… all around music, instrument and XR.

The (real) rooms are preferably equipped with sound and / or studio accessories (such as the voice processor and the sound management system 6) to enhance the invention and to be able to connect the devices to the platform 8 transformed in size real and physical or as a connection HUB (network) to the system.

In addition, the layout of these real places includes all the additional immersion elements for the activation of the 5 senses, as well as movement, including real world sensations and actions that can be represented (such as the vibration of sound waves. enclosures or floors, heat from projectors, ventilation, smoke blower, bad weather from external events, etc.).

XR, virtual and mixed reality have the effect of appetite, and attraction, to interest users by the ease of execution, the promised adventure, the feeling of presence, and the detachment of oneself in a universe that is defined as creative. , open, imaginary, sensory, and immersive. Added to this is assistance in learning and artist management making the universe, headphones (or glasses) with the associated audio processor 6, and the musical service of the invention a global combination guaranteeing the pleasure of playing, evolving and representing his art with motivation.

The inventive system defined by Platform 8 includes a music service.

The novelty of the music service is for the invention of paramount importance with the association of the new VR headset or mixed glasses composed of the audio processor 6. The service can be used independently of the VR headset or mixed glasses, because each element brings benefits for the artist. But the combination of the two offers all the interest in the invention and the success of the existing problem.

It is important to specify that the music service can be connected with generic or branded headsets with or without an audio processor 6. The interest of linking the headset designed for the music service offers more advantages to the user and in particular to the artist, musician or singer.

Another important point about the invention of VR headsets or combination glasses (with audio processor 6) is that the product can also broadcast or transmit: other programs and musical content, virtual programs and content, 3D videos or in 360 ° or 2D, XR, virtual or mixed or augmented reality, or a combination of at least two of these media. It can also receive smartphones, applications and other media or sound broadcasting peripherals, for example: wirelessly or by computer or by console or by remote servers (cloud computing).

The invention is an electronic immersion with a user interface allowing playful and musical human interaction by generating visual and auditory feedback on a video device (3D, VR, AR, mixed, 360 °, etc.). To be even more immersive and interactive, the music service offers in its various universes and areas, action achievable by commands associated with the user's movements. The actions can be, for example, the movement of the character, the gestures of the limbs, the action of events or objects of the set or with users ...

In addition, the invented system of Platform 8 including the music service is characterized in at least one of these parts as an environment defined as: "persistent world". Thus the virtual world used has the particularity of never ceasing to exist.

In addition, the platform 8 is preferably intended to be an open environment, without limits, without borders and with the possibility of browsing it freely while having the means to act on several factors. It will be configured according to several evolution and adaptation mechanisms for the user.

In addition, to improve his musical playing (or his singing), the user will live in the three-dimensional atmosphere, and even in the different “landscapes” and places of platform 8, an evolution of his emotions and his game by the evolution of universes and proposed actions, including various sensations, emotions and events.

Also, the evolving universes will be adaptive to all styles, leaving freedom to the performer. Preferably, the basics (sound, visual and other assimilable technological developments) with emotional assistance accompany the trip to awaken and work on his sensations, his musical playing, his style, motivation, and pleasure (and the advantages mentioned in the present). The interest is to bring the musical service and / or music to life and adapt it to the user's game and not to confine it to a previously written and restrictive scheme.

The point is to bring the game and the musicality of the user to life, in adaptive universes to offer interest and richness.

Preferably, and conversely, depending on the settings chosen at the start, the universes can also adapt emotionally (graphics, colorizations, effects and soundtrack, etc.) and events (3D computer graphics transformation, social interaction, scenario …) Depending on the artist's playing or commands activated during use. These artificial intelligences and modulations will be developed by codes and algorithms according to the ease of the artist's game and the user's data.

The different sources of platform 8 allow the production of creative music and creation on soundtracks and three-dimensional universes.

Use of the platform 8 on screen or television can also be associated, in particular by computer, to replace or supplement the device 1.

The music service is accompanied by a conservatory and a management platform. It offers a minimum of 3 pillars structuring it and making it possible to materialize the advantages set out in this document.

1st pillar: So-called “leisure” zones by the discovery of immersive virtual multi-universes for artistic expression (with the creation of creativity, freedom, playability, escape, and the user's musical sensitivity) with as goal the interest and the pleasure to play, the research of musical universe and the development of style.

Leisure is decisive for artists, allowing them to break away from rigor, criticism and the extreme demand for quality, mixed with the high level required for the perfect performance of music. This service allows the musician to determine who he really is, to trace the origin of why he wanted to make music and the present and future moment of why he still enjoys making music, before a potential discouragement.

Leisure is a space and a universe adapted to a theme (or more), making the user travel in a 3D environment and preferably at 360 °, with several events and emotions associated with a base of music accompanying the instrument of the 'user. The journey allows the user to experiment with environments and styles of music that suit them to begin rebuilding pleasure and motivation. The strategic graphic scheme of the immersion to assist this journey into the universe and the appearance of a musical platform in the form of a virtual means of transport for the artist moving it at these feet. This mini-scene (or other inventive means of transport preferably related to the theme of the universe, such as a capsule, an animal, etc.), makes it possible to display information and to offer a point of reference for the management of 3D spatialization of sounds and activation of actions and settings that can be executed using the controls.

To help this evolution, several settings are present in order to properly test the universes potentially favorable to pleasure.

Assistance is present indicating various musical, technical and sensitivities information. For example with 9 information screens arranged on the musical flying platform (mini stage).

Also, assistance is configurable (automatic or by programming) and / or human (real) and / or intelligent.

Full multitrack compositions will also be selectable. Among other things, several sound bases (musical, sound effects, effects ...) are present for all types of instrument. The user has the possibility of selecting an immersion with a sound content that does not include a track related to his instrument or other sound, allowing him to play at his convenience what he wishes as the emotional journey progresses and without hearing coverage by a similar or unwanted instrument. In addition, settings make it possible to bring in tracks or remove them at certain key points or automated by the learning service.

Thus, the artists can give free rein to their expression and develop, create and define a style of musical play according to the proposed universes and their musical levels.

The universes also offer an attraction to the awakening of new horizons and musical styles.

The service offers the recording of the performance of the artist and allows him to manage its content (sound return, storage, replay, broadcast, purchase, sale, promotion, etc.) and or to modify it (live or deferred) ) preferably in the service of the invention.

Associated with the helmet of the invention, the recordings, arrangements, listenings and broadcasts make it possible to reveal one's musical game and interpretation during the escape (preferably with the music service). Thus, the artist creates social links, and an increase in his esteem and skills as an artist, helping him to motivate himself and gain a taste in the universe that corresponds to him, in particular in the musical service, and to then continue to create more content and emotion while having fun and thus, create a virtuous circle.

2nd pillar: So-called “training” areas through access to games (leisure), courses, e-learning, tests, challenges, immersive and pleasant virtual adaptive exercises (a work of creativity, accuracy, technique, musical ear, mental and scenic ...), battles (creation of an artistic category similar to e-sport: e-music: online music competition), scenario immersions, with as goal the ease, the pleasure of games (musical and melodic), of learning and of self-knowledge.

Trainings are content available in the meeting space allowing the user to choose the desired or suggested learning (depending on the assistance), learning assistance (during leisure or events for example ), putting in a performance situation (in front of an audience for example), warming up with pleasure and motivation. The service extends to all the components of music such as interpretation, production, sound design or computer music. Monitoring the performance of each individual is part of the personal space and helps to define oneself. . Scores, results and records among others can be shared and analyzed.

On the subject of technical difficulties, the assistance allows them to go through them differently from the classic and endless rehearsals that every musician undergoes alone in front of his score and only calling on the mechanics of gestures (without musical reflection or emotion) to achieve the expected technique. The VR or mixed reality learning system offers another perspective of musical play and work that detaches the spirit of the score and makes it possible to achieve musical performances through pleasant and flexible immersion, leaving room for l energy and the search for sound and emotion. Thus, the service helps to overcome technical difficulties and stops focusing on the problem to overcome it more easily.

The resolution of said problem is achieved with a simple intervention scheme. These are parallel universe events helping to release the blockage, by proposing a notification for example, and making it possible to make a temporary voucher for the improvement of the artist and the passage of the difficulty. Musical variations are also offered if the user does not wish to use temporary assistance. The particularity of the aid by artificial intelligence preferably, offers a variety of scenarios and exercises allowing to adapt the good method related to the present difficulty of the user with those which did not work and those already done. Assistance can also be automated or human. This assistance intervenes during blockages in the various areas of the service and can be deactivated. Aid may appear, for example, as in the form of . The exercises and unlocking solutions are listed in the training area and allow you to redo or follow your progress.

This assistance has the advantage of helping the user to progress without taking a classic course for a given period of time and without context, but rather of offering short and effective progress on specific points (in particular during blocking) in a concrete context. (during a song for example or a virtual trip depending on a proposed musical style of play or a rhythm to follow ...). Thus, muscular, physical and dermatological pathologies will be less strained due to overly repetitive blocking work, and wearing out body and mind.

Within this area, sections offer live training and allow the artist to prepare for performances, auditions, and allow the concerts to be tamed, in front of the public (preferably for real performances) . Thus the artist can get in condition and understand the representations with greater ease and routine. The immersion is therefore a scenario of the artist before, during and after the performance. The artist can be accompanied, and performs in front of an animated audience (either real or virtual with or without artificial intelligence or machine learning: machine learning) in virtual, augmented or mixed reality. One of the priorities of this scenario is to provide moral support for rehearsals, stage mental training, and stage fright assistance. This simulation phase is a springboard for the 3rd pillar associated with the artist management service.

Secondly, this scenario offers the pleasure of playing in front of an audience (even virtual) and of feeling during the training phase the happiness that comes from sharing your art, the positive reaction of the audience, the perception of playing on stage, the elevation of self-esteem and achievement of any musician and artist.

Musical management to artists, preferably with the help of headphones and the transmission of the sound of the instrument and / or the voice, offers assistance to the stage, management for the user of personal and professional accounts, a record company, a consultancy and audit service in artistic, marketing and communication, an artist management service, connection, rental and decoration of stage and performance space, the rental of promotional and advertising space, sponsorship, professionalization, music production and publishing, artist promotion, organization and management of representation, belonging, self-fulfillment ...

3rd pillar: So-called “live” zones through the setting in situation, the representation, the creation of shows and music. It is a reception and meeting area (s), group creation, visibility, content management, and project with freedom and ease of creation, management and representation.

Live: both a reception area in 3 dimensions and preferably in 360 °, and a meeting space for users arriving on the service. The live, is a living universe, modifiable and changing on the graphic and sound level (in particular following music and sounds in particular open stages) ensuring continuous performances of various qualities, sizes and styles. It allows the creation of zones, events and scenes in the three-dimensional music platform. It also gives access in particular to training and leisure areas. Other services are planned. Live is one of the heart of the service offering stages, demonstration areas, content promotion, rental of advertising or promotional space, means of purchase / sale, and other graphic and content universes. hearing.

These sharing and demonstration areas serve as a center and social network, preferably to collect opinions, likes, messages, discussions, sponsors, contracts, sales, both for amateurs and professionals. The virtual platform retains the requirement to be an area of exchange and musical pleasure offering easy access to all for the transmission of its art, feelings and musical and interpretative sensitivity for its audience.

Ease of access and speed of representation is a priority of the invention for the user, unlike current common practice in real life. Today, artists have the difficulty of finding an agent, a stage, musicians, professionals (sound, lights ...) and funding (because the creation costs are high for an album, a show ...). This creates competition, development, motivation, representation, membership (to groups), self-definition, and access to the professional world, particularly applicable in reality.

Finally, another specificity of this area is to offer the connection of voices or part (s) (musical (s)) following a guide or a virtual or real conductor, associated with the musical service (in particular the atmospheres three-dimensional) allowing the realization of orchestra online and the composition of music between orchestral and modern (such as computer assisted music MAO). This service offers the grouping of musicians, for performances, composition, and the creation of music for various services (such as for example: soundtracks, symphony orchestra, EPIC music, background music in multimedia or cinematography , credits, modern music…).

The service in general offers different musical universes and zones, modifying the graphics of the decor, the world, the interactions and the sound association, automatically or according to the user's settings.

Preferably, all environments will have access to the common and social platform as connections.

On this basis of mother welcome, events will be arranged and will enhance the immersion, her search for style, the benefits stated and the activity that one wishes to exercise during use.

The service in general offers adaptations of three-dimensional universes and content in the form of fun, musical and leisure games, offering the acquisition for example of free content, points, rankings and lives ...

Simple solutions with videos and / or loss-to-play three-dimensional atmospheres, for example as a multimedia, cinematic, and / or promotional background and arrangement will be available.

The service will also have a connection and a space for creation, publication and exchange; especially for creatives and professionals of video, cinema, animation, drawing, graphic arts, motion design, and special effects for the association of the contents of the artists (in particular musical) towards a global realization (sounds + images + effects), complete and rich in emotions and experiences for various purposes.

The service offers adaptations for musicians in a seated position (by handicap or posture imposed by the instrument), both playing their instruments or visiting the platform. (Like camera positions for immersion, motion capture ...).

The service provides an opportunity for people with hearing loss to provide them with access to music and the enjoyment of sound and movement.
